I Was Saucy!

Thursday, March 12, 2009

Okay, Australia, you've got your cuddly koalas, your magnificent Great Barrier Reef, and your rugged outback--must you keep all the Tim Tams for yourself? You must? Well, I don't blame you. But can you at least convince Pepperidge Farm to continue producing these cookies in the states forever and ever? Right now, for a limited time only, they can only be found at Target. But you don't understand, Australia, I NEED these cookies in my life! More specifically, I need the Tim Tam Slam!

For my Tim Tamless fellow Americans, I will attempt to explain this heavenly experience. First, head to Target and buy a package or 12 of Tim Tams.

Some folks say it's better to refrigerate them for awhile but I couldn't wait.

Prepare a hot beverage--I used green tea.

Then, bite off two opposing corners and use it like a straw to suck up the tea, and then, when you feel the hot tea on your tongue, promptly pop the cookie into your mouth, and then....

...well, this is where I lost the use of my mental faculties and didn't get any after pictures so let me just say...nothing. Because there are no words. It's indescribable--you'll just have to try it yourself. The hot tea melts the inside of the cookie and when you pop it in your mouth the whole thing just collapses into a chocolatey mess. It's a divine experience. And it's too bad that the nearest Target is over an hour away but I guess it beats going all the way to Australia.

LOL I laughed when I saw this heading, very unexpected. As a true blue Assie girl I will let you in on a secret, you can get them at World Market!!! As well as some other Aussie biscuits that are worth trying. Tim Tam slam works best with hot chocolate. Mmmmmm

I didn't know Pepridge Farm was making them now. I have gotten them from World Market. I love a good Tim Tam Slammer! A friend on my birth board introduced us all to the Tim Tam and now we are all hooked!

Hi Ali! I actually thought of you last night, did you and your sister do ballet? did you do everything togehter?? how old were you when you began to do your own thing?? Sorry about all the questions, I don't know an adult twin!! :)

Hi! Stopping by from SITS & saw your "line" on Blogher! I love Tim Tam's. My bro-in-law brought some back with him and put those together w/hot chocolate & totally in heaven! Tim Tam Slam's are indeed divine! Thanks for making my mouth water! :)
